Having read many posts online, it appears that the Packet Corruption feature should be supported from kernel versions 2.6.16 onwards. So I was wondering why my version does not support the corrupt feature? Are there any kernel versions out there that do support it? I was wondering if there was a way to patch my existing kernel do enable the corruption feature? Any help/guidance is much appreciate. Thanks in advance too.
